Floatation foam 18ft xcalibur

[Winterfisher]

Just picked up a 2005 18ft legend Excalibur over the weekend and after taking it out of the water it sits very low in the back end.. some investigation showed that the floatation foam has a lot of water in it. We dug out a few sections under the seat mounting plates and vacuumed the water out, fills back up within a few hours to a couple inches.

we’ve set up a few dehumidifiers in the garage with all covers on to see if it will help but also curious if anyone has taken these excaliburs apart? Debating pulling the floor up and getting a good look underneath.

I haven’t taken one of those apart.
I did have a boat that leaked and the foam got waterlogged. I’d tilt the boat up and it would dry out in a couple weeks.

I thought Legend boats have a 'leak proof for life' warranty that is transferrable from one owner to the next. I would contact the company to inquire about it.

Only for the first owner, 10 years for the second and "sol" after that.

Loony would be correct this is from Legend "Once a product transfers to a second owner, the coverage reduces from Lifetime Leakproof, to a 10 year Limited warranty from the original date of purchase."

The 10 year limited warranty covers 10% less each year. As I am over this already I am "SOL"

discussed this issue with LEGEND and in the next few weeks will be doing a leak test on the hull and possibly getting them to remove floor and replace foam. Hoping not too much damage...

I have nearly the identical boat, and am interested in what you find beneath the floor…lots of those boats around and other might be interested too. Please post some pictures if you don’t mind ?

Is the warranty work still done in Sudbury?
I've got a Legend but never put much faith in the warranty(haven't need it it yet boats got to be 20 by now) as when I bought it if the was a problem sure they fix it but had to be brought to sudbury on my dime.

Can do! That is when I get the chance in a few weeks to drop it off..

Does yours ride very low in the water at the stern? we figured it has a few hundred pounds of water weight as we took the rear seat brackets off the floor and dug out the foam below.. fills up with minimum 1-2 inches of water in an hour. Vacuum it out and another hour there's another 1-2 inches..

Not sure if the warratny work is only done here in Sudbury but I live ~25 mins away so it works out for me!

Have you run some water in it while it on the trailer ? You should see the leak…
